NDA, DPB to obey Constitution to help Kuwait overcome crisis Majority Bloc to suspend its seminars
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 4: National Demo-cratic Alliance (NDA) and Demo-cratic Platform Bloc (DPB) declared in their statement that they will comply with the Constitution and Kuwaiti authorities to help Kuwait surmount the current crisis, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
They bid the entire nation to take a serious stance in search for the right channel to achieve national unity, stressing that since Kuwaiti citizens belong to one homeland, the principles and values that united all Kuwaitis during the Iraqi invasion must be revived.
They added that the Kuwaiti Constitution is the lifeboat for legality and accordingly, its text and articles guarantee the rights, responsibilities and freedom of the citizens.
Meanwhile, Head of Supreme Judiciary Council Judge Faisal Al-Morshid said the Constitutional Court nullified the 2012 parliamentary elections only because the decision, which was submitted to HH the Amir to dissolve 2009 parliament, was submitted by a resigned or interim government.
He clarified in a press statement that the elections were nullified due to this reason and the decision did not underline anything else.
Political
Regarding the constitutionality of the five-constituency system, he said, “I am a judge and I cannot answer such questions as it would be interpreted differently from the political aspect.”
In another development, the Majority Bloc of the nullified 2012 parliament decided to suspend its seminars for the coming phase due to shortage of attendees, which is less than 5,000.
Meanwhile, sources revealed that MP Musallam Al-Barrak launched a severe attack against the lawmaker of the nullified 2012 parliament Dr Obeid Al-Wasmi to prevent him from joining the majority bloc, as it will affect his popularity inside his electoral bases.
They confirmed that MPs Ahmad Al-Sa’adoun, Jama’an Al-Harbash, Khalid Al-Sultan and Faisal Al-Mislim were in support of this tendency.
MP of the nullified 2012 parliament, Nabil Al-Fadhel lamented about the unconstitutional ways adopted by Al-Sa’adoun to destabilize the internal political arena of the country.
He addressed Al-Sa’adoun by saying, “For 40 years you claim that you confront and fight corrupt people; however, we have not heard of a name so far.”
